The operator would not read the Telegram ask for ADR 0343: thirty plain lines, every clause on one, no bold,
no summary. A settings proposal was the same wall of text, its values masked so the approval was blind.
- messenger: an ask's message is the asker's headline and explanation alone; who asked and when, what each
answer does, the expiry, where else it is answered and the asker's Details travel as the message's note
(asks.Message.Note). Answered, the message is one line, "You chose Approve at 16:06 on Telegram ·
<headline>". An explanation that does not read at a glance (asks.Glance) is shown and logged. On a kind
that proves who answers, an ask's values are shown whole (asks.Ask.Whole), held to the secret rule alone
(from the earlier work on issue 383, #178).
- telegram: every message in HTML, never reworded: the title bold, a key line monospace, the note apart in
a collapsed blockquote; markup escaped. A tap is compared by its words, whitespace aside, and a message
shown before is still compared by the digest it was kept under.
- desk-channel: the note follows the body.
- mesh-knowledge: a record that needs the operator carries a brief (headline, summary, at most three
points), the 30th per-record rule; its ask shows the brief and never the clauses. An ask made before is
composed again as it was asked (form), so its warrant still holds.
- claude-code: an instructions proposal's explanation is one summary line (the proposer's, or the
module's), its text in the Details; a question's context is at most 300 characters and its recommendation
one point. Older proposals and questions keep their form.
The SDK is pinned at mesh-sdk 9588871 (fix/639-an-ask-reads-at-a-glance), which adds Message.Note and
asks.Glance.
A changes link onto a drafted clause was refused, so records that really
change such a rule could only cite it (ADR 0294, 0301, 0320); and return
renumbered ADR 0281's clauses, pointing other records' links at other
clauses. The changed drafted clause keeps its number and stays unserved;
return refuses a record whose clauses another record changed or links by
number. Issue 494, ADR 0321.
The whole-set rule cited ran only after acceptance: the review approved a
decision with no home and no record linking it, the rule then failed, and
the module's health turned red for a fault its author could only repair
after the fact. hq held the rule at the record's own merge. The review now
judges it ahead, before the judgement: such a decision stays proposed with
a changes finding naming the rule. It is not refused at propose, because
no record can link a number only reserved.
The import at hq f0892019 lost reconstructed, amended and a research effort's touches, held rests-on only as a
citation, took eight records' clauses from a numbered list inside a ### subsection, and left the 11 records with
no Decision section clause-less with nothing queued. Each is held now; refresh repairs a record only the import
ever wrote, and never one changed since.

hq's words check never read a decision record, so a correction to any decision
of October 7 to 10 was refused for words it was allowed to write. The links an
accepted record holds are kept by its correction without being judged again.

A revision came from anyone and a review was refused only to the first author,
so a co-writer could approve, and a record proposed before callers are proven
would later be reviewable by its own unproven author. Now a revision is taken
only from the proven author, a reserved number only from whoever reserved it,
and a review is refused from any writer of any version or for any record with
an unproven writer. The rules held records from no date, so a correction to an
older record was refused by rules hq never held it to; each dated rule now holds
from hq's own start date, and a new record cannot be dated before its
reservation. history and the question to ask are bounded like the other answers.

An agent learns what a decision says only by reading whole records. This module
holds every decision record and research effort whole in a database in the store,
with clauses that carry their own status and source, typed links read from both
ends, and every version. It answers ask, get and holds within a stated bound, and
takes a record through reserve, propose (refused on any of the 29 per-record
rules), review by someone other than the author, and acceptance, on the
operator's proven warrant when the record needs it. The 4 whole-set rules make
the module unhealthy when they fail. The import reads hq at a commit through the
records module, never overwrites, and changes nothing when run again. Prose
decisions get drafted clauses that a second judgement must confirm before they
are served.
